I am directed to refer to this office Memo. No. 6/67/2014-2PR(FD) dated 21/11/17 on the subject cited above vide which, it has been clarified that in cases where promotion involves change in the ‘pay in the pay band’, after adding the increment and such pay is less than the entry pay of the higher pay band, to which promotion is taking place, pay in the pay band will be stepped-up to such entry pay. Now, a clarification has been sough: by 0/0 the Chief Secretary, whether, those employees can re-exercise their option, who have been promoted between 01.01.2006 to 30.12.2008 in pre-revised pay structure and granted entry pay by considering the pre-revised pay structure.

Therefore, after considering this issue, it is clarified that employees who have been promoted between 01.01.2006 to 30.12.2008 in pre-revised pay structure, can now re-exercise their option w.e.f. 01.01.2006 within three months from the date of issue of his letter.
